← Welcome to Microsoft Forms Suggestion Box!

Ability to add a hyperlink to a quiz / form as you can in Word, Excel, etc.

Writing information in Description (under the title of the form) I wanted to add a URL to an information crib sheet.

Also, when I am adding 'comments' to appear under answers selected when candidates are reviewing their quiz answers I wanted to add a link. The best I can do is use Bitly to shorten a URL. Can you please add the option to insert a hyperlink as you can in Word, Excel, etc.?

    Please add the function of hyperlinks into Forms so that we can build and create what we need!

    Yeh...this is getting ridiculous now. You can even add attachments in this comment box. Why is it so hard to add attachments and links in Microsoft Forms? Hey Microsoft! All you have to do upload the selected file to the users OneDrive (or give them a way to select a location) and auto-generate a sharing url to the image location. For links, I'm sure you know that's as simple as adding the rich textbox as a field type. Come ON! Please. Hire me, and I'll do it for you. :)

    I am desperate for this function so that I may hyperlink to my privacy policy. Please introduce this.

    OK I accidentally found a way to add a hyperlink in a form. Here are my steps.
    1. I copied the link from the source
    2. Pasted in subtitle
    3. Clicked on another question and the pasted text became a live link in preview

    Attached word file shows original paste, pasted item becomes live link, examination of the html codes, preview also shows live link.

    Now if I could only shorten it to a word, or in this case "QP-706", but its a start.

    Having the ability to add a hyperlink to a form is the most basic thing we could be asking for as users!

    If we can't embed video (other than youtube), please let us create a clickable link to video content on our own networks.

    Seriously, please let us add links to text in Forms. This is a solid requirement for usability.

    People have been begging for this for more than a year. Is it that hard to do?

    Please add this obvious feature.

  • Richard Heath commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Can't really understand how this obvious feature was omitted. In many surveys you need people todo stuff on other sites before they respond. How can form editors do this without being able to add a neatly formatted hyperlink There's already a rich text editor, why not include links???

  • Michael Campbell commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We are trying to use a FROM to acceptance of Terms & Conditions, but the TEXT does not allow for enough characters and we cannot insert a link to the T&C's PDF on our web site. Having the ability to link to another site would improve FORMS
